This nation was the product of ti e I religious ideals of that noble band. They not only sought religious liberty but civil j liberty as well. Their ideals found expression in the 1 Cape Cod Compact written by them as * they sat in the little cabin of the May flower. This compact was a necessity as , they had landed for north of the juris- | dictional limits of their patent granted j to them by King James. In the north-j ern part of Virginia. Hence tlie writing of the first constitution by men who were seeking both civil__and religious liberty, i They began the compact by saying "in i the name of Rod, Amen.” In the name of Jehovah they, as well as the founders of the other colonies es tablished themselves, and built for us a mighty nation, of which we are the in habitants. They were profoundly religious, and their first movements were the establish ment of a church in which to worship and a school in which their children might be educated. They built upon the Ten Command ments. The constitution given to the Hebrews | for the building of their nature, through ; centuries Jehovah lead them. Rut they j forsook Him and lost their opportunity j of establishing Rod's Kingdom in the I earth. The saddest hour of our Lord was , when he pronounced their doom in these words: "For I say unto you. the King dom of Rod shall be taken from you and given to a nation which bringeth forth fruits like unto the Kingdom of Rod. Ours is the first nation after 'that doom and prophecy was spoken which begun its building in the name of Rod. Out of the religious ideal grew the Republic. A republic can be maintained by the religious ideal. All morals and ethics are dependent upon the religion. "In the decalogue is found the pillars of our civilization. As we get away from these we get away from Rod. and as we get away from Him we turn our faces to ward doom. Klessed is that nation whose Rod is Je hovah. is fundamentally true. Perils. Our perils are the tendencies of legis lative bodies, executives and the judi ciary to get away from the fundamentals, the religious and the spiritual ideals. The National Reform Association is out in a campaign to call the people back tb the| fundamentals. Much of our alien immigrants are not favorable to tin* pu holding of the Christian ideals of Amer ica. Our hope is in the maintenance of: First. The Christian Sabbath, Remem ber the Sabbath Day to keep it holy, is as vital today as ever. It is Rod s day consecrated ho Himself for our good, that we might become acquainted with Him.
